I produced Andy Hamilton and Nick Revell’s Million Pound Radio Show. It included a sketch where a pirate crew threatened mutiny unless the Cap’n provided a training day, “preferably in a nice hotel near Hastings. Where all us sea dogs can pool our experience, prioritise objectives and improve our communication skills. There’s not a man on this ship what knows how to use any tense apart from the present.”

The funniest TV show I’ve ever seen …

This Country has me helpless with laughter. “Mum, there’s no holes in my crumpets.” “Well, turn them over.” “Oh yeah, there they are.”

The funniest person I know …

Richard Curtis.

The funniest dream I’ve ever had …

I was attending a read-through of a script, went through a door to the gents and found myself on the tee of the 10th hole at Lytham St Annes during the British Open. I was just having a pee into a giant urn next to the tee when the tournament leader came up. How Trevor Peacock came to be leading the Open I have no idea.

The funniest thing that shouldn’t be funny …

Parkinson’s. My illness may be incurable but it is still making me laugh.

The funniest joke I’ve ever heard …

A professor told me: “People with Parkinson’s do get depressed but one of the other symptoms is apathy – so they may feel like killing themselves but just can’t be bothered.”
